As part of our May Affiliate Spotlight, we are proud to highlight InterCommunity, an organization that has been dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality healthcare to the Greater Hartford community for nearly 50 years. InterCommunity is more than just a healthcare provider; it is a pillar of support for individuals and families, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has access to the care they need to thrive.
How InterCommunity Supports North Hartford Ascend
At the heart of InterCommunity’s impact in North Hartford is its Care Coordination services, a critical component of the North Hartford Ascend initiative. Many individuals struggle with accessing medical care, behavioral health support, and essential social services. Care Coordination ensures that no one has to navigate these challenges alone.
Through this program, InterCommunity helps residents:
- Manage medications, therapy, and chronic health conditions
- Secure stable housing and employment opportunities
- Gain financial stability and build life skills
- Improve personal wellness, hygiene, and coping strategies
By taking a whole-person approach to healthcare, InterCommunity ensures that patients receive not only medical treatment but also the social and emotional support needed to achieve long-term well-being. This approach aligns with North Hartford Ascend’s mission to empower communities through holistic, community-led health solutions.
“We are doing this for you. We want to hear from you because we can’t do this project without you.” – Venton Forbes Vice President of Community Integration & Impact
A Legacy of Care and Growth
InterCommunity’s commitment to serving the community dates back to 1977 when it began as a small mental health support group. Over the years, it has expanded significantly to meet the growing needs of North Hartford and surrounding communities.
Today, InterCommunity provides a comprehensive range of services, including:
- Primary Care for Adults and Children
- Mental Health Therapy and Medication Management
- Addiction Recovery and Residential Programs
- Mobile Health Clinics and School-Based Health Centers
In response to the increasing demand for accessible healthcare, InterCommunity expanded its 40 Coventry Street location with $1.8 million in funding. This expansion has allowed for:
- Same-day medical and behavioral health services
- More staffing and resources to serve thousands of additional patients
- Enhanced Care Coordination to connect people with vital community services
A Community-First Approach to Healthcare
InterCommunity’s mission goes beyond treating illnesses—it is about supporting individuals on their journey to wellness. Whether it is a child receiving primary care at a school-based health center, an individual navigating addiction recovery, or a family seeking stability through care coordination, InterCommunity is committed to meeting people where they are and providing them with the support they need.
For those seeking comprehensive, compassionate, and community-driven healthcare, InterCommunity is here to help.
